Re: Rumor: Kerry & Edwards Want to Ban SEIV
When I saw that proposal, I was reminded again of some similarities I saw between the current US government and B5... appeals to patriotism as unconditional love of government rather than of country, fear of other cultures ("freedom fries", anyone?), new organizations created for the security of the country ("Nightwatch" -> "Homeland Security" and/or "TSA"), isolation from previous allies, increased military operations...
And now, a proposal for using a relatively small disturbance to enact what is in effect martial law, and "delaying" the election. If this gets any farther than the proposal that it is now, I start applying for citizenship elsewhere, because this country will not be mine any longer.
